Keep those moustache links coming in! This lovely Mario poster is by French designer Mike Stefanini. Unfortunately I’d say mine was most like Stalin’s…

Cheers for the link Zack!

Why not jazz up mundane, un-interesting marketing messages with the addition of a nice big moustache? Why not indeed I say! Moustache Me have 9 different vinyl stickers available to liberate outdoor advertising :)

Cheers for the link Scotty.

The Nonist has a great post about the bad language in baseball circa the 1890’s. Apparently it was so flithy that they had to issue Special Instructions To Players, but the best bit is they reprinted some of the most offending language:

“You cunt-lapping dog!”

“I’ll make you suck my ass!”

Genius, good to see things haven’t changed much! More about the document here.

Hmmm… Smells like Chicken! Just opened for voting on Threadless is my latest tee design, based on the box of wine I made for the cardboard party. If you have a spare minute please head over and vote 5 points for me :)

You know the old saying ‘owners look like their pets‘. Well I was discussing blogging in general with my girlfriend Nicky last night and we wondered whether bloggers looked like their blogs?

Ok so here’s a test, this is me and this is my blog:

I generally wear things that I like and don’t ever really give a thought (or fuck) to how they’d all look together. Today is a reasonable example; I’ve got my Social Suicide suit jacket, funny t-shirt, standard jeans, a pair of Nike vintage trainers and the card board graphics I was working on last night in a plastic bag.

I think I post to my blog in pretty much the same way as I dress. I just post the things that interest or amuse me without much (or any) editorial thought or planning. So at the moment the blog is sporting a post about car icons, a picnic table condiments set, some vintage photography and some graphic art… and it has a moustache just like me too!

Both me and Nicky thought this was conclusive proof that ‘I look like my blog‘. Do you or don’t you look like your blog and why?

This looks like an interesting talk at the ICA soon (even going to be a live barber demonstration).

“Moustaches, beards, sideburns, goatees - half the population has facial hair to trim, style or just shave off. The other half is mostly ignorant of all the historical, social and cultural intricacies related to the ownership of facial hair or simply witnesses the trends and variations in the male grooming habits.”

Speakers include Billy Childish, pictured. It’s on Tuesday 29 January 2008, 7:00 pm.

Someone was asking me the other day where you could get ‘good’ fake moustaches and beards, didn’t have a clue at the time, but now I do! Check out this fake moustache and beard selection, they’re from a Dutch mannequin company whose shop is chock full of other bizarre stuff.

Ninjas & Moustachios are friends, I’d agree with that, and now for only $1 I could promote that belief with this vinyl sticker from Shawnimals.

Here at made in ENGLAND by Gentlemen I’m a big fan of all things ‘gentlemany’ is this Pac Gentleman custom model by Doktor A is definitely in that category. Just check out the taches on the ghost dudes, loving this.

Nicolas sent has just sent me the link to this moustache blog, thanks very much!

“The Nineteenth Century gave us many things, but above all it was a hotbed of facial hair experimentation”

It’s great visual and witty insight into the hirsute gentleman of latter years, make sure to take in the glossary of technical terms too.

For the month of September (considerably longer for me) the Hirsute poke elite have been growing their moustaches to raise money for everyman’s testicular cancer research. We’re almost at the end of the month so have created a moustache mix & match viewer on our homepage, click here see how they’re coming along.

There’s a link on there to our sponsorship page if you would like to donate to this worthy cause (it might save you scrotum)

The World Beard & Moustache Championships were amazing! I didn’t really realise how utterly bizarre and ridiculous the event was until we left and walked outside into ‘reality’ it was like walking into a different world…

Apparently I came 4th in the Imperial Moustache category, although only 1st, 2nd & 3rd get placed - everyone else is 4th!

We had a bloody great day, met a lot of real characters from around the world. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay through to the end due to heavy drinking from 11am, I was on my back before the finals… Not sure if the tache is going to survive for the next one in Alaska in 2009 :(

I’ve create a photo set with lots more pictures over on my Flickr.

Well it’s been about a year and a half in the growing, but finally my tache’s big day is almost here! This Saturday (1st Sept) Brighton will be inundated with hirsute gentlemen from around the world to compete in the The World Beard & Moustache
Championships 2007. The competition is going to be hot, I probably don’t stand a chance, but I reckon the outfit I’ve got planned should raise a few laughs! The plan for the day is as follows:

11.00am - 12.00 noon Hairy parade, from Brighton Town Hall to the Brighton Centre. Nominated charity will collect donations via buckets on route. Apparently there’ll be Morris Men dancing too.

The event is being held at the Brighton Centre.

1.00pm – 2.30pm Moustache Competition (this is when you’re going to have to be there to see me in action)

2.25pm – 4.20 pm Partial Beard Competition

4.25pm – 6.25pm Full Beard Competition

6.25pm – 7.00pm Break

7.00pm – 8.30pm Award Ceremony

Should be a great day out with lots of bizarre characters, tickets still available (you can pay on the door too) if you want head down and cheer me on :)

These trainers look amazing, I’m going to buy them all! Available soon, check out the site for a fair amount of tache action too. Good work Nike.

Steven Harrington’s work is always amazing. New print available with a fine selection of moustachioed men.
